american-musician few guys hats last men notice remove stuff sunglasses thick
A few last men to beware: guys who won't remove their hats and sunglasses - they think you're too thick to notice the stuff they think they're hiding.
play guitar guy
In a way, watching an attractive, potentially dangerous guy play guitar is a little like watching a tiger agree to do tricks for his trainer. You know that they could just turn and kill you. But you're so flattered and pleased that instead they agreed to stand on a decorative box and wave and count for the crowd that for a while you forget how big the scary part of them really is.
issues guy trendy
A wacky, trendy outfit on a guy over 40 indicates he's got big issues.
country hip leads
No one would argue against the fact that L.A. leads the country in opportunities for being hip and pretentious.
american-musician episode guide seen tv
I, too, have never seen an episode of Moesha, and even more amazing, I have never even read a TV Guide description of an episode.
It's just like magic. When you live by yourself, all of your annoying habits are gone.
begin conversation figure potato salad time trying waste
If you begin a conversation about potato salad and find yourself being called a castrating bitch, don't waste your time going around and around about this with your girlfriends, trying to figure out what happened.

If he smells stinky or doesn't have time to call, it probably isn't because he's so busy. It's because he doesn't really care what you think. Period.

I really enjoyed Merrill Markoe's Guide To Glamorous Living, which was a weird hybrid reality/sketch thing I wrote, directed, and hosted, with two male-model bimbos whom I made agree with everything I said.
writing years effort
When you have been writing for a lot of years, you have to make an effort not to start repeating yourself. It occurred to me that I tended to tread certain ground automatically, because it was comfortable, but that there were areas I avoided automatically because they made me nervous.
self awareness transparency
When anyone lacks self-awareness and doesn't recognize their transparencies, it's always funny.
celebrity-gossip care want
I don't like the celebrity gossip culture, and I certainly don't want to contribute to it. I don't care about the Kardashians, or any of them.
reality television unions
Reality television is a scripted hyper-life that employs writers, but won't allow them to call themselves writers or join the union.
goal work-out world
My goal was always getting my work out in the world, and in many ways, I feel like the luckiest person alive.
